Film Fan Fridays for Friday October 22, 2010

Hello Film Fans and Fanatics!

Welcome to Film Fan Fridays for Friday October 22, 2010!

In limited release this week we have an eclectic bunch of films to choose from staring with the South Korean action/crime film The Man From Nowhere starring Bin Won (Mother), documentary Tibet in Song and the just released Carlos a 333 minute epic (you read that right, over 5 1/2 hours) crime biography focused the Venezuelan Ilich Ramirez Sanchez.

In wide release this week we have a spooky selection to get you revved up for Halloween with Paranormal Activity 2, a sequel to the indie phenomenal of 2009 Paranormal Activityand I know I'm ready to get scared all over again! We also have Score: A Hockey Musical an uber Canadian film that's was the 2010 Opening Night Gala Film From TIFF, and it bridges our national pastime of hockey with... singing. Yes, it's a musical. Also out this week is the Bollywood release of Jhootha Hi Sahi.

For film festival fans, the Flyaway Film Festival is happening this weekend in Pepin, Wisconsin and fellow film fanatics Andrew James and Matt Gamble will be covering the festival - be sure to check out there coverage over at Row Three and Where the Long Tail Ends! The festival has a great line up, I know I'll be jealous of folks getting to see Gary King's Death of the Dead, documentary Beyond the Myth about the discrimination against pit bulls, and Phasma Ex Machina a narrative film that not only explores questions about how far would you go to bring back the dead, but also will have a panel discussion about the philosophical questions around the issues. Not that's classy. Have fun at the festival guys!
